Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Feb. 4, 1908.

Application filed June 21. 1907. S rial N 380,112.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, AUeUsr EIsEL, a subject of the King'o'f Prussia, German Emperor, residing at Iserlohn, in the Province of \Vestphalia, Kingdom of Prussia, German Empire, have invented a certain new and useful Device for Fastening the Handles in Brushes, Scrubbers, and the Like, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to a device for quickly and i'irmly fastening the handles in brushes, scrubbers and the like.

The drawing illustrates the invention as follows:

Figure 1 shows the device itself, and Fig. 2 shows its application to a brush.

The deviceconsists of a pair of double hooks pivotally connected together as shown in Fig. 1. By means of these hooks the conne'ction of the brush with the handle is el tested as follows. After the handle has been introduced in the usual manner into a corresponding hole in the brush, or scrubber, or the like, the pair of double hooks are driven into the two parts at opposite sides, so that they take up the position illustrated in Fig. 2. The hooks a inclined to the limbs 12 as shown in the drawing, are caused to penetrate completely in the two parts of the instrument and thus prevent any loosening and coming apart thereof. 7

It is evident, that the hinged connection of the limbs l), 1) permits of giving to the I hooks a a considerable length so that they hold securely in the wood of the handle and l of the brush and nevertheless the removal l or withdrawal is easily e'll'ected, as the hooks swing out of the hole in the wood approximately concentrically to the hinge. Thus the removal is el'l'ected without injury to the parts so that the device can be used over l and over again. Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I claim is:

A device for the fastening ol" the handles 01'' brushes, scrubbers, and the like, which consists ol two limbs 72 pivotally connected with one another, each provided with a l pointed hook a somewhat inclined to the 1 said limbs, adapted to be driven into the brush and the handle one point into the l brush and the other into the handle. In testimony whereof I. have signed my name to this specification in the presence 01 two subscribing witnesses.

AUGUST EISEL.
